Of course, each of the brands will be vying for your beauty dollars, so they’ve put together a variety of lovely gifts (and events, though these vary by counter) to entice you. Here’s a recap of the ones I talk about most often.

ATELIER COLOGNE
I just started sniffing these guys, and plan to review them soon. But for those of you who already know you love them, buy any of their Colletion Absolue or large Cologne Absolue bottles during beauty week, and you’ll get a free refillable atomizer with leather pouch.

BOBBI BROWN
Bobbi Brown is offering a travel-friendly gift with $100 purchase: the “Berry to Go” collection, which includes a lip palette (Berry Metallic Lip Color, Pink and Brown Lip Colors) as well as a mini Crystal lipgloss (squeeze tube). The palette also has a mini lip brush.

CHANEL
Chanel is offering a “token of appreciation” (because they don’t do “gifts with purchase”). With your $200 purchase, you’ll receive a makeup bag containing a sample of Sublimage La Creme, Inimitable Intense, and a mini Nude-Mordore lipliner. If you pre-sell, they’ll also throw in a sample of Sublimage Eye Cream.

CHANTECAILLE
Chantecaille is offering samples of their Flower Harmonizing Cream, Jasmine & Lily Healing Mask, Brilliant Lipgloss in Elation, and a carded sample vial of Tiare perfume. It all comes in a blue metallic bag, with your $150 purchase.

CLE DE PEAU
Cle de Peau’s official gift is a cosmetics bag containing deluxe sizes of their Restorative Body Cream, Gentle Protective Emulsion, mini lipstick in T9, and La Creme. It’s yours with $300 purchase.I know my counter at Northpark has a variety of additional gifts to sweeten the pot. If you pre-sell your $300 purchase, you’ll also receive a full-size eyelash curler (awesome!), a sample of The Mascara, eye and lip makeup remover, and five cotton pads.

If you buy La Creme during the event, you’ll receive super deluxe samples of Gentle Protective Emulsion, Lotion Tendre, Gentle Cleansing Foam, La Creme, and 10 cotton pads. If you don’t have a Neiman Marcus Cle de Peau counter of your own, and you want to order from mine, their number is 214-363-8311.

ESTEE LAUDER
If you picked up Estee Lauder’s last Neiman Marcus gift with purchase, you should have received a large, pale-gold, basketweave” tote. This gift is a sequel, a complement to that one. It includes a small makeup bag in the same pale gold, basketweave design. You’ll also receive a full-size Sumptuous Mascara in black, mini Pure Color gloss in Magnificent Mauve, and Advanced Night Repair eye cream. Qualifying purchase is $100.

KATE SOMERVILLE
If, like me, you’re just getting into Kate Somerville, this is the perfect time to pick up some freebies with purchase. Your $150 purchase will get you a free deluxe Deep Tissue Moisturizer (LOVE this stuff) and Quench Hydrating Face Serum. If you’re in Dallas (or even if you’re not: 214-363-8311), DEFINITELY talk to Sonya about a step-up gift at $200 purchase.
